Jeff's got some better news (I kinda went right to the politics board with a thread like this,) in the form of a report she was conscious after the shooting, which is a lot more hopeful than it sounded. It sounds like there'll be a statement very shortly.
Update: Not much word on her condition: the figure now is as many as 18 hit, 6 reported dead, they've caught the shooter, recovered the weapon (pistol with extended magazine) ....wait.....
The Congresswoman was in fact shot through the head, (brain in fact,) is in critical condition, but nonetheless doctors are as optimistic as one could be for some kind of recovery at this point. She was talking and responding before surgery.
Sadly, a nine year old girl died of injuries at the hospital, otherwise that hospital has a lot of critical patients on their hands but hasn't confirmed any more deaths than that. It's a lot of people seriously injured at least, not clear if any of those were people counted as dead but saved by the doctors.
